About this property

SECLUDED WATERFRONT w/ DOCK, 18 ACRE, PERFECT BOATER, FISHING & ROMANTIC RETREAT

Please note that the owner is limiting rentals in order to keep the house and grounds as natural as possible. Past River House guests or referrals please contact Linda Scheer directly at 843 475 7632 with your requested dates and we will try our best to accommodate. The 1915 River House is a delicate retreat designed for adult couples to relax, rejuvenate and become immersed in Lowcountry nature. What awaits is 18 acres of land on Charleston’s barrier island of Folly Beach across the street from the Atlantic Ocean. Included is a 400 SQ FT covered pierhead with 20’ dock AND 18’ boat lift float with power and water on the Folly River. Great fishing and crabbing right off the dock with easy boat access to inland waterways and the Atlantic Ocean. In its history, it housed the 1930’s Folly Boys Camp, has and continues to be a bird and wildlife sanctuary, and from the looks of the terrain, was a supply loading point for Union forces in preparation for the Battle of Charleston in the Civil War. Over the years the owners restored the 1,600 sf cottage, groomed the land, built a dock to deep water, and added fun stuff like a tree house, outdoor stone fireplace and dining table, swings and over a mile of walking/golf cart trails through moss laden oaks and along the riverfront and marsh. Inside, the all heart pine house has been restored with modern conveniences and decorated with funky antiques and artwork.

What makes this property unique

Everything about this property is special. I love swinging in the lounges in the tree house in the evening as the deer come into the yard, or swinging on the tree swing as the sunsets. There are lots of paths to take the golf cart on enjoying wildlife. But mostly I love the romantic cottage feel. This is a great location for couples or fishermen, who will love the boat dock. Children love the yard and the trails.
